Review started for DYK nomination of Novvot

[edit]

Hello, I've started the review of Template:Did you know nominations/Novvot. I had a few notes about potentially rewording your first hook and a source that might be better support for the name "Persian sugar" I'll be watching the article as well as the template for changes. Overall, good work. 🌿MtBotany (talk) 21:11, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for The Use and Abuse of History: Or How the Past Is Taught

[edit]

On 15 March 2025, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article The Use and Abuse of History: Or How the Past Is Taught, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that The Use and Abuse of History: Or How the Past Is Taught explores how school textbooks across the world distort history to serve political interests? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/The Use and Abuse of History: Or How the Past Is Taught. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, The Use and Abuse of History: Or How the Past Is Taught), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Question

[edit]

Hi. Having just run into you at a DYK, and then looked at your user page, I was curious what your thoughts might be about a couple of issues. 1, as you are a teacher, are you concerned that when student submit papers to you, it may be difficult to know if AI wrote it? 2, as you have edited wp a great deal, do you see somehow people using AI to create their entries on wikipedia? Just curious. 2603:7000:2101:AA00:B988:8BEF:5DBE:59F6 (talk) 04:11, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Yes - it is a common topic of discussion among teachers.
  2. I don't do recent changes/new pages patrol these days, so I don't see it, but I am sure it happens. I have seen it a a bit from my students, although not much as they primarily do translations; but last semester we had some incidents of AI hallucinations being added to Wikivoyage (which is part of my Fall teaching). I am sure there are many more examples around the Wiki, but generally, AI hallucinations can be easily spotted.
  3. I use it myself to polish the prose (at that level, AI is just a refined spellchecker...), craft DYK hooks, as well as article leads (of course, I proofread and fact check all AI output). All tools are good, if used responsibly.
  4. See in case you haven't: Wikipedia:Artificial intelligence
